Can't beat the devil
No one is as tough as he
Listen to them, political people talk
The rest is history

But isn't it funny, after all these years
Everybody is still laughing
Not all the time
But occasionally

Hello Louise
Louise hello
Hello Louise
Louise hello

I must’ve had a million reasons to cry
May be a million more
The pain, pollution
Afraid to die,
I was falling to the floor, the floor

I was getting to be hardboiled
Squirm and snicker with the rest
But oh love, came to my street
And put the dancing shoes on my feet

Hello Louise
Louise hello
Hello Louise
Louise hello

Now you may not believe me
And I don't care a lot
But this is a real life story
Good as soup in Mama's pot

When I get to feel like crying
And the tears come to my eyes
Well, I run and put on my dancing shoes
And Loulou and me, we dance to paradise

Hello Louise
Louise hello
Hello Louise
Louise hello
